Mega was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Jakarta Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $800, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $600 short. my mother has been in and out of Jakarta Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mega struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Mega won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $600 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Post-operative medication: $80 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything

      good luck, Fajar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

      • Keep going, Fajar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        • Praying for you, Fajar. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust

          • Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Olinda donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Olinda
